Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering. Add 1 pound of chicken breast strips and sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cooked through and edges start to brown.
  2. Step 2: Stir in 3 minced garlic cloves and 1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger; cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  3. Step 3: Add 1 cup snap peas and 1 sliced medium red bell pepper to the skillet, sautéing for 3-4 minutes until vegetables are tender-crisp.
  4. Step 4: In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons soy sauce and 2 tablespoons honey, then pour over the chicken and vegetables. Stir continuously and cook for another 2 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly and coats everything.
  5. Step 5: Remove from heat, garnish with 1 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds and 2 sliced green onions before serving.

Cool to room temperature within 2 hours, then store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat covered in a 350°F oven for 10-12 minutes, or microwave at 70% power in 60-second bursts to keep trimmed snap peas from drying out.
